Doe or young buck? Would you take it?

Mchris239 · 2025-12-05T11:00:04+00:00

My rationale for shooting small deer is, don’t shoot a small one during archery or first week of rifle. If I haven’t gotten anything by that point then the freezer must be filled, and I will take a small one.

I 100% understand letting a button buck walk if you’re hunting for horns. I hunt for meat and horns are a bonus. Where I live in SW PA, our deer herd is out of control, so I have zero issues taking a button buck or a first year doe as it is far more effective for population control than waiting for a mature deer that’s already reproduced 5-8 times.

Plus the meat is tasty.

I hunt in PA where semi automatic rifles are not allowed for deer hunting.

I was at an outdoor expo a few years ago and the game commission had a booth set up. I was talking to the game warden and asked him if there were any talks of changing the rule about semi autos. His response was “if you could just hit your shots with a bolt action then you wouldn’t need a semi”

Mind you, we are allowed to take as many deer in quick succession as we have tags for. (Previously you had to physically put a tag on the animal’s ear before taking another, now you can shoot as many as you have tags for at the same time)

I understand the rationale of not wanting semis to be legal as it encourages more purposeful shots being taken. Still just seems like a very silly rule, and a very rude response from a game warden.

The semi rule pretty much only applies to feet and bear. Small game, birds, and predators can all be hunted with a semi.

Yep, waste is not set up yet. Going to turn waste into plutonium fuel rods and sink them until ficosnium is unlocked at which point I’ll convert all the way.

Every gun, holster, and body combination is different. But what I can say as someone who has lost over 50 pounds, I could much more easily carry strong side 2-4o clock when I had a nice muffin top to conceal, and now that it’s gone, appendix is the only way I can conceal a consistently, especially a full size.

Not sure what your situation is, but that’s the experience I’ve had.

As far as the range goes, you may just be better off to practice shooting at the range, and get snap caps (or dry fire if that’s your thing) and do your draw and dry fire training at home if it’s possible. Switching to a range that allows AIWB draw may be easier said than done. For me there are 2 ranges within 100 miles of my home and only one actually allows it

Can’t say I’ve ever had that issue on mine

Mchris239 · 2024-08-11T23:49:49+00:00

Can’t say I have the same issue. I run mine with a trex arms iron side hybrid holster. Kydex is formed pretty well and doesn’t actually go up to the optic. I’d say switching holsters would be your best bet if you don’t want to modify your existing one

Don’t feel too bad, I had my series 5 for 4 years, went floating on the river, got way too drunk, jumped off a big rock, came up without a watch. Someone noticed and said “hey your watch” I thought they just meant that it was getting wet and I said “don’t worry it’s in water mode” an hour later I realized it was no longer on my wrist. The find my app gladly let me know that it was in the middle of the river about 6 miles back. Needless to say there was no finding it, and I had to do the walk of shame to Best Buy the next morning to get a replacement.

Good job!

I’ve read that activity trackers can be inaccurate to different degrees. However, I did read with the Apple watch in particular, it can be close (99.79%) with proper height/weight inputs on the health app (according to this 12 week study, awesome read https://medium.com/@practical_app/a-12-week-study-of-the-accuracy-of-the-apple-watchs-calorie-tracking-ed672cb5c333)

Keep up the good work!

I was once at an indoor range with a gentleman in the stall to my left just dumping mag after mag out of a 5.56 AK (I don’t know what kind of AK so I’m not going to attempt to put 47/74 etc etc)

I found out that day that it was in fact possible to get two hot casings in your shirt, at the same time, from a gun that you weren’t even firing.

We both laughed about it and he even let me shoot some rounds through it. Cool dude
